5 takeaways as Patriots lose in embarrassing fashion to Green Bay Packers
Four turnovers, a struggling secondary, and a disastrous first quarter set the tone for the Patriots' worst loss of the season.
The New England Patriots suffered a humiliating 45-27 defeat to the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. The home crowd, which had been buzzing prior to the game, booed the team throughout the first half after a disastrous first quarter. The offense's first two plays were disastrous as an illegal shift penalty and an interception by Packers safety Xavier McKinney set the Packers up at the 14-yard line.
The first touchdown came just 13:19 into the first quarter when quarterback Jordan Love rushed for a 13-yard touchdown. The Patriots' offense never recovered, with the Packers dominating the game and allowing the most points since 1990.
